We're hearing about troubles at Nest

Not sure if it's the same problem, but a few months after getting my Nest it started ignoring my adjustments as well.

After some investigation, I found that it had automatically set up a bunch of temperature schedules without my knowledge (I guess it thought it was smart and could learn my weekly patterns from my past usage). That's all fine if it actually cared to take my manual adjustments more seriously than trusting its own "intelligence," but I'm pretty sure it just thought my adjustments were irrelevant suggestions :)

Anyway, after clearing all the schedules that it added (and turning off auto-schedule in the settings), it now works as I would expect.

And this has been my problem with all of Google's products. They can be really smart, but when I want to override something, they treat that as irrelevant.

In my experience it will re-add those schedules. I've cleared them out several times now.

Looks like there's a setting (at least in the web interface) to turn off auto-schedule. Apparently I had turned it off for one of my Nest thermostats, but not the other one - turning it off now.
